- hwptr 24351 buffer 16384 appl 24332, avail=16403
appl pointer is behind hwprtr ( underrun ) , need timestamp to find out whether PA is unable to write audio data in time since
I commented out the portion of the code that increases the watermark and clamped the number of available samples to the buffer size, and it works just fine, no audio underflows.
Do you mean that the underrun is related the the portion of code that increase the watermark (i.e It is a pulseaudio bug instead of driver bug ) ?
Or, we can try simply to change to periods_min = 2 whether this fixes the PA issues.
periods_min = 1 is anyway fairly fragile. With that setup, apps are supposed (implicitly) to wake up frequently enough to get pointers in sync. This is because you can't trust whether the IRQ wake up is really fast enough. There are machines that aren't.
